Hi

line that passes through the points (2, 3) and (6, 11)

m+=%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D%29

(2, 3) and 

(6, 11)  m = 3-11 / 2-6 = -8/-4 = 2

 y = 2x + b   |using ordered pair Pt(2,3) to solve for b

 3 = 4 + b

-1 = b

 y = 2x - 1



#1 y -11 = 2(x - 6)  | y = 2x -1

#2 y - 3 = 2(x - 2)  | y = 2x - 1
